Batman & Robin De-Assified

Batman & Robin still sucks, but it’s far less painful this time around. The editing was well done for the most part. There were a few audio transitions that sounded abrupt.

If you want to cap off your Batman marathon, skip the theatrical cut of B&R and stick to this.

FANEDIT RATING – 8
Audio/Video Quality – 8

(NOTE: “Degree of Editing” is a 100% arbitrary rating that I keep in mind when reviewing edits. This is not meant to insinuate that a faneditor is lazy or not. Some fanedits require a lot more work than others and I take this into account.)

MOVIE RATING – 5
Narrative – 5 (original is a 2)
Enjoyment – 5 (original is a 2)

NOTE: Ratings for Narrative and Enjoyment are weighted so as not to punish the editor for turning a flaming turd into a semi-enjoyable turd.

OVERALL RATING – 8

The very first fan edit I ever saw!! And to tell the truth, as a HUGE movie fan, I’ve found myself enjoying the fan edits more than the originals on many occasions. I saw ALL of the Burtonesque Batmans at the cinema and you redeemed this movie from the 7th ring of hell. George Clooney and I thank you…

Wow… i didn’t think Batman and Robin could be edited to be enjoyable, but boy this was a fun ride – of course the inherent Schumacher-crazyness is still in the movie, but this edit felt like a fun Batman TV-Episode

8/10

this might be nostalgia talking… but this fanedit is perfect. i love it. you wouldn’t know from watching this fanedit that the original is SO BAD. seriously. watch the fanedit and THEN watch the original again. pretty horrible, huh? you wiped it from your memory, didn’t you?

technical quality is a bit less than perfect (4/5) but this actually fits well (imho) with the animated series and in that context is an easy 5/5. still… the movie is not great however, what this edit creates is the opportunity for repeated viewings!

batman fanboys (like myself) will rate this MUCH higher than the normal viewer… it misses 5/5 for me by just a scosh!

4/5
